See my previous post. Your experiences sound pretty familiar. I have flushed 11 times since October 2002 so have fitted in a lot more in a shorter space of time. What I find helpful is what Spirit recommended and that is each morning I have about 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom Salts in my tea. It makes me feel so much better. That amount works well for me but apparently you need to try out what suits you without affecting your BMs up to about 1 teaspoon. I have flushed after 4 days to alleviate symptoms and every two weeks up to about the 8th flush. Like you the flushes now seem to weaken my liver and I would really appreciate hearing some suggestions as to why this might be happening. However, after a few days things improve again. I have to keep meals small otherwise the symptoms recur. It is good to read your post because I don't feel that I am so peculiar!
